Various predicted catastrophes come to pass during the brilliantly titled “Enough, Actually,” The Penultimate Episode of the Season. In any rom-com, the couple must, at some point, be in crisis. The genre’s belief in the transformer powerful of love is based on the faith that it can overclome obstacles created by the lovers’ Own faults. We’ve Talked About the Hiddden Parts of Us that Emerge Over the Course of Being Vulnerable and About the Kind of Love That Out Intact Once The Fantasy Has Been Ruptured. But at the core of the best entries in the romantic genre is ancceptance of one of Life’s Harrowing Inevitability: People Suites Succumb to their Worst Instincts. They Make Mistakes.
We knew that Jess’s Instagram diary was bound to be exposed, and we could have a georgia-peach and Oriel’s wedding, that felix would relapse. We have allo guests these two things together would create a problem for saying, but what’s uhatpped and thriling about “Enough, actually,” is that two catastrophes collapse as finally steadies on her feet at her jab. In life, as we know, your Things to open like that – all at the one. Ideally, Jess Wold Kill at Her Job, Have a Loving Relationship with Felix, Get Past Hyperfixation on Wendy and Zev, and Actualize at the Numerous Postbilities that Became Available to Her Moved to London. But that Story was a fairy tale, and while the rom-com is plenty fantastical, it is anchored in real life. And in Real Life, Shit Happens.
Ever Since The Wedding, Felix Has Been Acting Distant and Cold Toward Jess, A Night-And-Day Difference from HIS Usual Warmth. Jess Tries to Undersand What’s Happening, Both by School Directly and by Trying to Rekindle Some of their Playfulness, But ITH’S LIKE SHE’S TRYING HIM HIM THROUGH “Bulletproof Glass.” Irritable and Hungover One Morning, he calls her “dramatic,” a dysmissal that sounds like’d come from zev. Iced out by felix, jess falls into her old habit of scrolling through wendy’s Instagram in the Bathroom. There’s wendy Holding Her Pet Repiles, Wendy Doing Product placement, and Wendy Wearing Lois’s “Ironic Nixon T-Shirt.” That last one items jess over the edge.
In the Kitchen, and Makes a Video. “Zev Goldstein, you stole my shirt, and you gave it to your new bitch, and that not okay, fucker! But, unlike the private videos of the Last Few Months, this time jess max her video public, responding in kind to wendy and zev’s public affront. Meanwhile, Felix Falls Back Into His Old, Bad Habits: He Goes to Auggie After Soccer, where he knows there is plenty of partying to be found the protest. Felix is so dejected that he can Barely String Together the Kind of Joke That Wold Ordinarily Flow Out of Him.
Nora and Jameson Are Succumbing to their Old Schemes – when Jameson Stops by to Drop DROP “DRIPPING WET” BACPACK, he catches nora just hanging up on facetime with jess. She gets up to put makeup on, but he doesn’t woit unil she’s done before he and she tells she’s ghetting ready for “an event. Seeing Nora like that-half-naked and caring for her appeararance just before Seeing Him-Sparks Something in Jameson. He tries to kiss her and say to “fuck superfast,” but nora is setting biners: she teles Him no. It is always a joy to see Andrew Rannells and Lena dunham Bouncing off Each Other, and times we get all of their Çemistry.
Felix doesn’t come home after auggie’s, and jess goes to sleep alone before shoot to hear her neighbors’ profane screams. There’s a through-line in Too much Regarding the use of the Word “Cunt” – ITHING OF A Trigger for Jess, Reminding Her of Zev’s Cruelty, but it is also a Word use More widelly, and to liters shocking, in England. It ‘s subtle Illustration of Jessi’s Difficulty Adjusting to a New Place That She Can’t Uncuple the Insult from Individual Context, but it is Also Indicative of that she has a little incline. Because Other Parts of Her Are More Dramatically Compelling, The Contours of Jess’s Worldviews are only Thinly drafow; But there was principled involved in her not going to sit with William, the convicted rapist, at the wedding table, and there principle, howver muddled, in her intolerance for a Word has been used to dimine.
Women’s Need to Speak Up for The Thiefs is Everywhere in the Christmas Ad Shoot, for Which Rita Refuses to Wear What Amounts to Elf Lingerie. “I was to told I was gonna play Santa in a commercial that told young girls that we can anything,” she complains. That’s only one of the small disasters that overtake the shoot: kim wants to go home catsie hasn’t texted her or FOLLOWED HER BACK ON Instagram after they had sex; Jonno is Mia Because Ann is Done Mothering Their Kids, Jonno, and Their Irish Wolfhound, Diane, Looking instead to do things for herself, like “Audit a crimitys Psychology Class.” AFTER MAKING A YOUNGER MEMBER OF THE CREW UNCOMFORTABLE, JIM WALKS OFF The Shoot, Saying He “DOESN’T TAKE CREATIVE FROM People he doesn’t Respect,” the Non-Raspectable Person in this Case Being Jess, WHO RELments’ DOubts About Jimit’s Christmas-Apocalypse Idea.
As all of this is happy, Jess’s Phone is blowing up. When she made the video responding to wendy wearing her mother’s mother, she inadvertently made that which Page Public, which Means that People Can See All 537 DIARY ENTRIES ADDRESSED TO WENDY JONES. She also, it turns out, tagged Wendy in one of say. The video of Her Setting Herself on Fire Goes So viral that internet influenza jake shane and alix earle, as well as actor owen thiele, makeir own videos reacting to it.

Fuck you.”; and Nora Tries to see the bright side by assorsing her family that so jess “to make a thing about a thing.” Ultimately, Nora’s Instinct is right: The Internet Sides with Jess. Alix Earle Calls Her “Unhinged and Relatable”; Jake Shane Says that he wasti lit himself on fire, too.
Besides, as Rita Ora Advise, The Internet doesn’t remember anything. Jess is the only person who will Carry the pain of embarrassment around, and Luckily for her, embarrassment is a Feeling prey much rant her repertoire.

Jess, Finally Looking and Sounding Like a Confident Adult, Directs the Commercial With Competence. The tagline is “Lose the Bells and Whistles,” SO, in a rare moment of restraint, that what jess does – she puts rita ora in the Santa costume as requested, gets rid of the background dancers, and shoots watching “have your merry little” a cap.
